There's a valuable lesson to be learned here.
Project Vend: Can Claude run a small shop? (And why does that matter?)
Your kid has more real world experience and a far better grasp of reality than AI.
There is a nuanced understanding lost here.
I feel this kind of wordings will harm post-transformer AI in the future as investors will look at past articles like this to try to decide if an AI investment is worth it. Founders will need to explain why their AI is different and the usage of AI for different technologies will greatly affect their funding.
There will be a new term for it, like it was Machine Learning rather than AI back in 2017.
Maybe Autonomous Control or something.
Or the "Once it works, no one calls it AI anymore."
or Tesler's Theorem :
"Intelligence is whatever machines haven't done yet."
"What problem are we trying to solve by automating the process of purchasing vending inventory for a local office?"
Now I'll ask the question every accountant probably asked
"Why the hell are we trusting the AI with financial transactions on the order of thousands of dollars?"
I swear this is Amazon Dash levels of tone deaf, but the grift is working this time. Did the failed experiments with fast food not show how immature this tech is for financial matters?
